The purpose of this study is to find out the characteristics of landform in Geoje-Do using GIS and DTED data. The characteristics of landform in Geoje-Do are as follows; First, the height-range of Geoje-Do is $0{\sim}580m$, and the average elevation of it is 124m. Volcanic and granite region is mainly appeared at high elevation-region. But, we can't find out outstanding difference of elevation, according to its geology. The second. the slope-range of Geoje-Do is $0{\sim}52$ degree, and the average slope of it is 17.6 degree. The slope of volcanic and granite area is more steeper than any other region. But the results of analysis of the geology in Geojo-Do, don't show outstanding difference of the slope. The third, the area-rate of the aspect of Geoje-Do is almost same in all direction. And the area-rate of south-west direction is the highest. According to the geology of Geoje-Do, granite is distributed the most widely, and the area of volcanic and granite occupy 60% of entire island's area. According to analysis of influence of geology with elevation, geology has little relationship with elevation. According to analysis of geology and drainage network, streams are inclined to be developed well in Alluvium area. Drainage network is well developed throughout the entire island, except southeast area. The highest order of stream is 4 in 1:25,000 topographic map. The density of stream in Geoje-Do is very high, such as 1.6. The bifurcation-ratio of stream is also higher than 4 in all order. The length-ratio of stream is ranged from 1.24 to 3.25. According to the relationship between order and elevation. order is the greater, elevation is the lower. According to the relationship between order and slope, order is the greater, slope is the gentler. In this study, we use DTED Data, and compare it with topographic map data. According to the comparison, there is a little difference between DTED data and topographic map data. Therefore, to use DTED data in landform analysis, it is required coordinate matching process. This process is very important, and take very long time. Thus, if you use DTED in landform analysis, some processes are required. DTED data can be taken very easily, but its using is not simple. Because coordinate adjust is very hard work.

To investigate the causes of ground deformation around the Dogye coal waste depot in Samcheok city, Gangwon Province, we undertook a field survey and performed boring tests and a topographic analysis using maps compiled in various years. The results of boring tests and analyses of ground fractures indicate that the thickness of the soil layer ranges from 9 to 28.5 m and that ground deformation has occurred to the $240{\sim}250^{\circ}$ direction. The topographic analysis revealed that the topography of the site has changed continuously due to the dumping of coal waste. The causes of ground deformation, investigated by both field surveys and the topographic analysis, were the thick layer of soil at this site, the loading weight of coal waste, and the excavation at the lower part of the slope.

Recently, ten geosites have been considered in Hwaseong for endorsement as national geoparks, including the Jebudo, Gojeongri Dinosaur Egg Fossils, and Ueumdo geosites. The Jebudo geosite in the southern part of the Seoul metropolitan area has great potential for development as a new geoscience educational site because it has geological, geographical (landscape), and ecological significance. In this study, we described the geological characteristics through field surveys in the Jebudo geosite. We evaluated its potential as a geo-education site based on comparative analysis with other geosites in Hwaseong Geopark. In addition, we reviewed the practical effect of field education at geosites on the essential concepts and critical competence-oriented education emphasized in the current 2015 revised science curriculum. The Jebudo Geosite is geologically diverse, with various metamorphic rocks belonging to the Precambrian Seosan Group, such as quartzite, schist, and phyllite. Various geological structures, such as clastic dikes, faults, joints, foliation, and schistosity have also been recorded. Moreover, coastal geological features have been observed, including depositional landforms (gravel and sand beaches, dunes, and mudflats), sedimentary structures (ripples), erosional landforms (sea cliffs, sea caves, and sea stacks), and sea parting. The Jebudo geosite has considerable value as a new geo-education site with geological and geomorphological distinction from the Gojeongri Dinosaur Egg Fossils and Ueumdo geosites. The Jebudo geosite also has opportunities for geo-education and geo-tourism, such as mudflat experiences and infrastructures, such as coastal trails and viewing points. This geosite can help develop diverse geo-education programs that improve key competencies in the science curriculum, such as critical thinking, inquiry, and problem-solving. Furthermore, by conducting optimized geo-education focused on the characteristics of each geosite, the following can be established: (1) the expansion of learning space from school to geopark, (2) the improvement of understanding of specific content elements and linkage between essential concepts, and (3) the extension of the education scope throughout the earth system. There will be positive impacts on communication, participation, and lifelong learning skills through geopark education.

자연계에서 토양의 침식 및 퇴적 반복적 과정은 매우 복잡한 형태로 발생하며, 호우로 인한 토사유출은 유역의 지형 및 지질학적 특성과 수문기상학적 특성 등에 의해 매우 민감하게 반응한다. 즉, 토양 침식 및 퇴적은 유역의 형상, 토양종류, 토지 이용 및 피복상태, 강우사상 등에 따라 시 공간적 분포가 다양하게 변화한다. 따라서 유역내 침식 및 퇴적의 시·공간적 변동성을 분석하기 위해서는 지형학적 특성인자와 수문기상학적 특성인자에 따른 유역내 수문학적 응답을 이해해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 분포형 강우-유사-유출 모형을 이용하여 용담댐 상류 천천유역을 대상으로 Strahler 하천차수구분법에 의해 유역을 차수별 소유역으로 구분하고, 지형학적 특성인자(유역면적, 지표흐름 이동거리, 국부경사)와 수문학적 특성인자(총 강우량)에 따른 침식 및 퇴적의 공간분포 변화에 대하여 분석하였다.

We aim to investigate the morphological and environmental characteristics of royal tombs of Chosun Dynasty by using GIS technique and remotely-sensed data. Most of the royal tombs are located on the banded gneiss and granite and over the south- and east. facing slopes and have altitudinal ranges of 150 to 200 meters. Due to the time gaps, exact locational preferences of the royal families can not be understood at this moment and also proximity to the running water is hard to be quantified. Close examination of Gwangneung indicates that the artificial modification and weathering have severe impacts on the slope and stone artefacts. The results from this research can be useful to preserve the valueless cultural heritages.

This study investigates the development process of Mt. Deok on Bigeum Island, Shinan, on the basis of geomorphological and geological analyses. K-Ar dating was carried out on two samples of the acidic lapilli tuff developed in the study area, and the obtained K-Ar ages are $70.4{\pm}1.4$ and $76.9{\pm}1.5Ma$, which correspond to the Late Cretaceous (Campanian). Mt. Deok is surrounded by rock cliff, and various weathering microtopographic features, such as tafoni, tor and gnamma, are developed. Tafoni with diverse morphologic types is the most dominant feature, indicative of intense salt weathering. Geological characteristics such as porous tuff and joint have played an important role in the development of tafoni and rock cliff. Geomorphology and geology of Mt. Deok reflect paleoenvironmental change and interaction between human and nature in the coastal area.

Ths study was carried out to understand the geo-topographical characteristics of the landslide area (1.5 ha) in Maeri, Sangdong-myeon, Gimhaesi, Gyeongsangnam-do. The bedrock of the landslide area was diollites and the area in and around the upper slope with the scattered talus was composed of Masanam originated from Igneous rocks. The landslide occurred in 19th of April, 2004 and the amount of rainfall for 3 days before the landslide was 74mm. The landslide by land creeping in this area was mainly attributed to geo-topographical characteristics such as well developed colluvial and/or weathered soils, and land cutting in lower slope, although the landslide could be affected by the rainfall. The type of the landslide can be classified into the land creeping by concave colluvial soils.
